Had the Confederacy won the Civil War, every New York bar would be required to have moonshine, an outdoor patio and a bowling lane. For a glimpse of what might have been, check out Lady Jay's, Williamsburg's only irony-free redneck saloon.

Lady Jay's, founded last year by southern chef Sam Mason, is the place to play, let loose and unwind this summer. Having just re-opened their yard, a raised wooden deck lined with benches and encased ...

Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club, opening this Friday, isn't your run of the mill lower Manhattan surfside German beer hall. (Whatever that is.) Supplementing traditional beer garden fare (brats and beer), Beekman will be serving up pub-competition all summer long -- because nothing says "pool-shark" like a man in a bathing suit.

Sprawled across a 6,000 square foot plot of sand, Beekman's beach club features foosball, ping-pong and billiards tables, along with some life-sized chess sets. Playing under the sun is sure to whet your appetite for the post-game feast; pretzel-wrapped bratwurst, burgers from Pat LeFrieda (Shake Shack's butcher), plus a variety of cocktails and draft brews for your beach-boozing ...

The 2011 Subway Series, which goes down this Memorial Day weekend at Yankees Stadium, is an intense grudge match. (Just ask Roger Clemens, the best hissy fit/bat-thrower in pinstripe history.) Fuel this year's Yankees-Mets rivalry with ...

While it's fun to spice up geriatric activities with college shenanigans, it's not worth a lifetime ban from the retirement home. But Bingo night at the Standard Hotel -- a costume party fueled by booze, balls and beautiful people -- shamelessly combines octogenarian sports with adolescent rebellion. And the results are glorious.

Each week presents a new theme, like cops and robbers or superheroes. Themes are not to be taken lightly, and neither is the table dancing (this is the Standard, after all), alleged to be a common occurrence on Bingo night. Admission is free, thanks to exorbitant ...

The world of competitive beer pong is similar to a frat house. They're both filled with personally cutting psych-outs and plenty of dirty balls. There's one big difference, though: The top dog of the beer pong big leagues doesn't just stay on the table, he walks home with a wheelbarrow of cash.

Step up to the line and sink your ticket to the Atlantic City Beer Pong Championships by competing for one of the top two spots at Turtle Bay's sanctioned qualifier tourney. Win the event, and you'll score an all-expenses paid trip to the Northeast's classiest gambling paradise plus a shot at the $25,000 ...
